Singer Alex recently celebrated her daughter Lily‘s fifth birthday, and the theme? A Matt Damon birthday cake inspired by the beloved film, The Martian. Lily adores the movie, and when she asked if Matt Damon could attend her party, Alex realized she had a little fan on her hands.
While Matt Damon himself was unavailable, Alex came up with a creative solution: a cake that looked just like him! On a recent Sunday, she shared a delightful photo on Instagram showcasing a chocolate cake shaped like Mars, complete with a tiny astronaut on top resembling Mark Watney, the character played by Damon. The figurine even sported a cut-out of Damon’s face! Alex humorously captioned the post, “Matt Damon made it after all!” It’s heartwarming to see parents go the extra mile to make their kids’ dreams come true.
Unique Birthday Themes
Unique birthday themes are not uncommon among children. Remember the little girl who wanted a CVS-themed party? Or the dad who crafted a “Princess Hulk” cake for his twins? My own daughter, who is currently obsessed with Bob Ross painting shows, has expressed a desire for a painting party where everyone dresses up as the iconic painter. Who knows if she’ll stick to that idea, but I’m on board if she does!
One of the joys of parenting is embracing our children’s ever-changing interests, even when it means stepping outside of our comfort zones. Alex shared another sweet moment later, posting a photo of herself and Lily making music together, wishing her a happy birthday with the words, “I carry your heart with me.”
Happy Birthday, Lily!
